Reiki symbols are basically words from the Japanese language that play an important role in Reiki practice. These symbols are used by advanced Reiki practitioners and can help focus or channel Reiki energies. Symbols can be activated by mentally visualizing them, drawing the symbol with the palm of your hand, speaking the name of the symbol out loud, or simply calling it up in your mind. The three main symbols used in traditional Reiki are Cho Ku Rei (power symbol), Sei He Ki (mental or emotional healing symbol) and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (distant healing symbol).

Meaning of Sei He Ki or Reiki Mental/Emotional Healing Symbol

Name sei heki half earth and sky meet gold God and man become one.

This symbol acts on the conscious mind (mental body) and subconscious mind (emotional body) of a person, and is used primarily for healing, cleansing, purification, protection, and emotional and mental balance. It is also sometimes called the protection symbolfor the role it plays in providing protection.

Most of our ailments are caused by mental and emotional imbalances in our bodies. Using the emotional healing symbol helps bring the problem to the surface and releases the emotional and mental issues that are causing the problem. This symbol also helps balance the left and right side of the brain and promotes peace and harmony. It can be used to attract gentle and subtle energies needed to ease feelings of sadness or suffering.

How to use the Emotional/Mental Reiki Symbol

Different practitioners use this symbol in different ways. For example, the practitioner draws the Cho Ku Rei (the symbol of power) to create a connection to the Reiki source energy. Sei He Ki is then drawn over the problem area where Reiki energies are required. The energies are sealed by drawing again the symbol of power or Cho Ku Rei. This maintains the effect of Sei He Ki for longer.
